Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Cesar's Bitacora for its Rust vs JavaScript performance comparison and a follow-up post that rewrites the Rust code to remove extra allocations, including Unicode lowercase handling.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “Performance Showdown: Rust vs Javascript (2020)”The point on the unicode to_lowercase is quite interesting. I wonder if the javascript version is faster because it's less safe or because the JIT compiler identifies properly that unicode-awareness is useless and specializes the code. The author has a follow up article[1] on their blog about it. They rewrite the rust code to eliminate the extra allocations they identified at the end of this post. It then performs 8…
